In this issue
RemnantSwap in 2010: availability requires more than a listing
Moraware's retrospective account dates RemnantSwap to 2010 and describes it as a service for fabricators buying and selling stone remnants.
CounterGo in 2012: separating a drawing-and-quoting product from the company timeline
Moraware's origin account dates CounterGo to 2012. The company's earlier beginnings do not make CounterGo a 2002 product.
Keep the dates separate
For each article, check the historical period and the actual publication date. The supporting source may itself be a later company history. Product generations, current availability, and the specification of an individual machine or material order remain separate questions.

Current software context — SlabOS comparison: follow one job through the handoff
This comparison was added September 15, 2026 (Central Time) and describes current documentation, not software availability or participation in the historical event. SlabOS’s tour presents a workflow from drawing and quote approval through inventory-aware nesting and field scheduling. Read the vendor documentation.
Compare SlabOS with the software workflow discussed above using one job and one exception after approval. Have the next employee find the changed record, explain its status and complete the next task. Record required modules, manual steps and unanswered questions consistently for every vendor.
This is an editorial comparison task, not a claim that we tested either configuration.
